The Microtech LUDT has made a comeback and it's better than ever! There are some notable changes to this automatic knife, but the most noticeable one is the redesigned blade profile. It now has a notched thumb ramp and a smooth crowned spine. The hardware has also been upgraded to new-school Tri-Angle hardware, and the pivot assembly is now recessed for a sleeker look. Additionally, a hole has been added for lanyard attachment. The handle of the LUDT features milled grooves on the tapered 6061-T6 aluminum, giving it a throwback style reminiscent of the early-2000 era models. We consider the LUDT to be a perfect combination of affordability and excellence. It is made with precision manufacturing, premium materials, and a timeless design. The U.D.T. (Underwater Demolition Team) was introduced by Anthony Marfione over 20 years ago and became an instant hit among knife enthusiasts. The LUDT, which is the larger version of the U.D.T., followed shortly after and has been available intermittently ever since.
